Weekends are hard :(

So, I have found that I am really good with my diet 5/7 days of the week. I never see my fiance, and so we only eat meals together on the weekends when we are both home. What happens, as I'm sure it does in many other relationships, is we go out to eat. My diet is blown, I make what I consider to be the "healthiest" selections from the menu, and find myself ashamed to enter the food I eat in my food journal. I probably lost all the progress I've made in loosing calories in just today alone.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I'm with you on this one.. But just make it a point to cook delicious meals together on the weekend. You'll save money, and he'll understand, because you're really serious about losing some pounds.. Throw the wedding in there.. "Babe, let's wait to go out to dinner til after we get married, so I can look like your queen on the big day.!"

Make some excuse, but if going out is making you feel worse.. then don't do it. Bust out the dusty old cook book and make him something delicious and healthy, light a few candles, laugh and share with each other in a private setting and guess what.. you won't feel so bad about it afterwards..

Good luck hun. My ex-hubby dragged me into that life of constantly eating out, and it didn't help our marriage or my waist line!

I agree with the previous poster- make a night of it, and cook a healthy meal together at home. Maybe save the going out for one night a month.

Keep in mind: you are probably now eating better 5 extra days a week than you were before!!

I did the same thing at first, then slowly started cutting back on weekends because it was sabotauging my weight loss.

Tell Mr. Man the deal. Ask to stay home and eat, or eat at healthier venues. I'm sure he will be agreeable. :flowerforyou:
